Sacramento public housing residents demand safety changes after string of violent crime ...Middle East

News by : (CBS sacramento) -

Wednesday night, concerned neighbors packed the housing authority's board meeting to vent frustration over violent crime.

"Kids are dying left and right," said Kenneth Duncan, the CEO of Ball Out Academy.

"No more SHRA residents should die on your site," said Kristina Rogers with the Land Park Neighborhood Association.

Miller-Jacobs says a stray bullet from a double-shooting last month hit her teenage daughter's bedroom window.

"I think people want to do something, they just don't know what to do," Miller-Jacobs said.

SHRA is unveiling a series of security proposals, including installing mobile camera pods, license plate readers, new fences, and using a surveillance drone. But they say those measures could cost more than $100,000 a year.

Neighbors want immediate action before any more lives are lost.

But board members say they need more time to form a committee and study the security issues.

Many neighbors also called on SHRA to begin sharing security camera video with the police department in real time. Currently, they require police to get a warrant.
